Duh! Your're not only Mike...Nick Hilligoss!!!!!!!!! Duh! Your're not only Mike's friend... but all of ours!!! I'm a mega fan of your films and your generous instruction on your sites and at the SMA board.<BR/><BR/>I too share your concern about the 30 year timeline it looked like I was on with this!!! I really thought I was going (or arrived at) insanity.<BR/><BR/>All your film experience made it obvious when you saw what was happening (or not happening) here that I was in for an inordinate amount of work the way I was going about it. Too much detail.<BR/><BR/>I'm cutting corners where I can. It's my attempted balancing act; cinematic, theatrical, and real.<BR/><BR/>I will say that I can see no shortcuts in your films, only great animation, with loads of loving detail telling meaningful stories!! You obviously are making the right choices!<BR/><BR/>I'm so delighted you got to see Frog and Toad, aren't they wonderful?! Jim Aupperle was kind enough to let me know he appreciated how much those special films were being admired.<BR/><BR/>Cheers for writing, 'Mate!!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-16178325282471738012007-07-02T02:03:00.000-07:002007-07-02T02:03:00.000-07:00It's great to see so much coming together.

I was a little concerned though, that it was looking like a medieval cathedral style project, requiring generations to complete... but now I see many things getting done, and without the shortcuts I always resort to, and I know it's going to be worth it. <BR/>PS<BR/>Thanks Shelley for your discovery that Frog and Toad (read about, but never seen) was hidden away on a Curious George DVD where I never would have thought to look! <BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Nick Hilligoss<BR/>(One of Mike Brent's stopmo friends.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-75215997976405070442007-07-01T06:38:00.000-07:002007-07-01T06:38:00.000-07:00Dear Hungry Boy, Thank you for your kind note.

You know, a series of brief closeups showing all these great details in order to establish the surroundings and create a sense of completion.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.com
